Property Operations & PMS

Property Operations and PMS: this is the forum for posting your ideas and comments on all aspects of hotel operations, from reservations to events to metrics and reports. You'll find a category here for each of the major topics in property management, and if you can't find the right category, please search or post to the Other category. Where we can, we'll move ideas around to group them as intuitively as possible for the product managers working on the PMS.

Please keep in mind that there is a separate forum for topics specific to the operations of hotel chains and groups. Go to the Multi-property management forum for anything about portfolio management or rate, product, package and restriction functionality across multiple properties.

  1. Please add the timeline view to the mobile app. Some properties would like to see the timeline on their phones as well since they utilize them often and throughout the day. This feature request came from Erin at Boardwalk Homes Executive Guest Houses & Suites.

  2. I have recently discovered a 1,000-character limit has been applied to (at least) the description of a new rate when I attempted to modify an existing description and add a new rate. Overall, not an issue. The problem to solve is formatting this description. Line breaks and blank lines entered when writing the description are no longer recognized and now the lines all run together. This is not a great Guest experience and is apt to cause more Guests to skip reading the description entirely when they see a big block of words. I hope this was an oversight when…

  4. Right now a derived rate can only add a modifer to the parent for its base rate. It would be great if a derived rate could also have its own extra occupancy fee, modifiable from the parent's.

    For example, when deriving a breakfast included rate from a parent rate, one can not presently add a breakfast fee for any extra occupants on the derived rate which means two seperate parent rates have to be created and maintained limiting the usefullness of the derived rate concept.

  5. Currently, MEWS allows only one due date per invoice, which creates challenges for businesses that require staged payments. Many hotels and event venues operate with structured payment terms where deposits and balances are due at different times.

    For example, a typical payment schedule might look like this:

    Upon Booking: A percentage due within a set number of days
    Months Before Check-in: Another percentage due
    Final Payment: Full balance due before arrival
    At the moment, tracking these due dates manually or through workarounds is inefficient. The AR account tracking feature does not fully solve the issue, as it does not allow…

  6. When we change prices and click enter, the next squared selected is the one in the right (same category for the next day). Nevertheless, normally when we change rates, we do so for an entire day. It will be much practical is the next square selected after clicking "Enter" is the one below what we have just changed. This way, we can swap from the first until the last category of a whole day and do it quicker than now.

  7. When sending Support Cases, we can not see what was already sent, even when receiving a reply we can not see our originally asked question.
    It would be good to have an overview of all Support Cases in the company in one place. This makes communication easier and we can always refresh our knowledge by going through tickets instead of asking again and to have One raised case as a one thread.

  8. Guests occasionally have a reservation under one booking, followed by another reservation under a different booking number (e.g if they've decided to add another night or have been staying for work and adding another day as a personal expense). Under the current system they need to check out and get their cards recut which isn't a great customer experience, we need to manually allocate the same room for both stays, inform Housekeeping not to clear the room and if they haven't paid in advance, we need to pay extra attention to their billing as it's split over multiple bookings.
    In…

  9. Additional/customizable origin options.

    When a reservation is created we have limited options to choose as the origin of the booking. We would like to have the option to customize these options ourselves to have a better overview of where the bookings come from.

    Hello,


    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.


    Would you be able to share the origins that you feel are missing so that we can provide a better service for you and your teams?


  10. Since Optional Reservations are not confirmed reservations - client feels it would be best to not attach a Confirmation reference number in the emails until the customer actively confirms the booking. All main Placeholders associated with Reservation details or Summaries include a Confirmation number - even for Optional Reservations.

    Email Templates associated with Optional Booking should only confirm a summary of the reservation details without a confirmation number. Perhaps adding a specific placeholder just for the templates triggered by Optional Reservations could be useful.

  12. Could you please separate by columns in the BILL AND INVOICES REPORT. For each line, tax base, % tax aplied, tax aplied.
    Por example per invoice:

    • INVOICE NUMBER: 2356547
    • INVOICE DATE : NOVEMBER 2024
    • NAME OF CLIENT: PHIL SMITH
    • TAX CODE: A4356859
    • ADDRESS: Madison Avenue 343 CU 54459 New York USA / /10% TAX BASE: 2000€
    • % TAX 1: 10%
    • TAX 1: 100
    • % TAX 2: 21%
    • TAX 2: 210€
    • TOTAL INVOICE: 2310€

    At the moment with the provided report we cannot separate it, we do not have this breakdown…

  13. It should be possible to get a full data export of all guest profiles existing in Mews. Having multiple properties sharing 1 guest database, I do not want to use/create reports per hotel/per period. That is time consuming and report data is limited. I just need 1 data dump with all guest profiles.

  14. Linked hardcoded tourist tax adjustments to the tourist tax accounting category and not to the accounting category of the parent (service)

    This distorts the accounting because the tourist tax has to go back down into a tax type accounting category, whereas the service's accounting category is a turnover account.

    This regression was detected at the beginning of 2024.

  15. We need to refine the filtering of the accounting ledger to display only entries that have already occurred, and excluding those that are scheduled for the future. To prevent entries labeled 'to be resolved' from appearing until after all items on a reservation have been completed. For instance, a reservation in our system is todasy 29.feb marked 'to be resolved,' but the guest will not check out until March 6th. We cannot send the invoice before after the guest has left the hotel..

  16. As with the rates page, it would be useful to have a search bar for spaces, so that settings can be made more quickly when managing establishments with a large number of spaces, and therefore with several pages (e.g. > 300).

  17. Ability to block exports of the ‘Customer Profile’ report for certain user roles.

    A receptionist on a temporary contract (i.e. working only 1 or 2 days in the hotel) can, if he or she wishes, export the whole of the hotel group's customer database by means of an Excel export filtered by creation date.

  18. Add restaurant cheque and meal voucher payment methods in order to :
    - be able to manage these payment methods from reception via MEWS and not just from the POS
    - be able to perform accounting adjustments from MEWS in the event of an input error in the POS, which does not allow this type of action to be performed

  20. There is no feature that consolidates all exports into a single email. Each report export must be configured individually for the same hotel.
